The cabin of a tram is suspended from a set of wheels that can roll freely on the support cable ACB and is being pulled at a constant speed by cable DE. Given a = 42° and ß= 32°, the tension n cable DE is 20 kN, and assuming the tension in cable DF is negligible, what is: a. the combined weight of the cabin, its support system, and its passengers? b. the tension in the support cable ACB? You can assume AC and ED are parallel!

A former student of mechanics wishes to weigh himself but has access only to a scale A with a capacity limited to 100 lbs and a small 24 lb spring dynamometer B. With the rig show he discovered that when he exerted a pull on the rope so that B registers 20 lb, the scale A reads 80 lbs. What is the correct weight?
